HAPTER REATING
10BASE-T and 100BASE-TX cables are very easy to
use. To connect a cable, simply slot the connector into
the relevant RJ45 port. When the connector is fully in,
its latch locks it in place. To disconnect the cable,
push the connector's latch in and remove it.
Your switch detects all port connections, so you can
start using your network immediately. When you need
more ports, simply add OfficeConnect hubs.
